    First off. Try writing in sentences. Try using capitalization and punctuation. This was we can understand what you are trying to say.

    Second, as HK said, tell us what wires are in the switch box and also in the ceiling box and how they are connected.

    Your question as asked is impossible to figure out.

    I too had trouble understanding you but here goes. The fan with a light kit will have coming out of it a black/hot to fan motor, blue/hot to light, white/common neutral to both fan and light and finally a green ground. You ceiling box may only have a black, white and ground if this used to be a standard light fixture. Do you plan to control this by pull chains, a single switch will turn on both fan and light.
